Sánchez's two serious lies about Ceuta that deserve a trial for treason

In the last few hours, two pieces of information have emerged that completely undermine Pedro Sánchez's government in relation to Ceuta.

The criminal articles that could sentence Sánchez to 11 years in prison for treason
A vile attack on the King of Spain that looks designed by Morocco, except for one detail

The Moroccan Gendarmerie organized the invasion of Ceuta

The first of these was published yesterday at 9:29 p.m. CET by the online newspaper El Español: "Police inform the judge that the invasion of Ceuta was guided by Moroccan gendarmes under the orders of plainclothes officers for a purpose other than immigration". This news reveals the content of a report from the National Immigration and Borders Center (CENIF) of the National Police, which was sent last Monday to the National Court. El Español reports that "Moroccan gendarmes gave instructions to the migrants on how to access Ceuta and were in charge of managing the flow of the thousands of people arriving in Castillejos so that they would go to predetermined areas to reach Spanish territory."

An offensive counterintelligence operation against Spain

The aforementioned media outlet points out that the report states that plainclothes Moroccan police officers "gave instructions to Moroccan police officers, of which there is photographic evidence," and suggests that the migrant incursion was planned by Moroccan security forces with a purpose related to Rabat's territorial claim over the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla. Furthermore, the aforementioned media outlet adds:

"CENIF also considers that what happened in Ceuta was a textbook offensive counter-intelligence operation, since it has had the effect of calling into question the intelligence services, and in particular the CNI, in the prior detection of the process."

The government was warned two days in advance of an “extreme risk of mass entry”

Furthermore, last night the program Código 10 on the Cuatro channel revealed that CENIF informed the government about the migrant invasion two days in advance, and did so in a report that even indicated July 30 as the date expected for the border assault from Morocco. On July 29, CENIF had already warned of an "extreme risk of mass entry," but the government ignored the warning, merely adding 12 agents (7 Civil Guards and 5 National Police officers) to the usual deployment at the Ceuta border.

Sánchez's lies on these issues

Let us remember that this Monday Pedro Sánchez gave an interview to SER in which he openly lied about both issues, and he did so knowing that his statements were not true, since the aforementioned information should have been in the hands of the government for more than a month (in the case of the CENIF reports prior to the invasion) and for days in the case of the subsequent report.

At point 9:57 of the video, Sánchez states: "The CNI shared situation reports, as did the National Police, but I can guarantee that there was no information that shared the magnitude, the severity of the crisis that we were going to suffer on the 30th and 31st."

Likewise, at point 39:40 of the video Sánchez says: "when people talk and speculate about the participation or not of the Moroccan authorities and I deny it outright precisely because I don't have that specific information on this matter".

Reports that shed light on what was already obvious

It was obvious that Sánchez wasn't telling the truth, since it's inconceivable that the Spanish intelligence services (both the CNI and CIFAS, as well as the intelligence services of the National Police and the Civil Guard) were unaware of what was being planned. In fact, the statements made by Sánchez and several ministers in his government were an insult to the professionalism of our intelligence agents, who have access to abundant and up-to-date information on everything happening in Morocco that could pose a threat to our national security. It was also obvious that the Moroccan government was involved in the border assault, since it's inconceivable that tens of thousands of people could head to the Ceuta border from the Moroccan side without the Moroccan government knowing.

The aforementioned police reports confirm what was already obvious and specify Morocco's role in this attack on our national sovereignty. A very serious attack that should have very serious consequences for Spain's relationship with that African country. Furthermore, these reports make it clear that the Sánchez government was warned but allowed the assault and then covered up Morocco's role in it, even praising the invading country. This point is the most extremely serious of the information that came to light yesterday.

The crimes that the government may have committed

Both the government's inaction in the face of an impending invasion and its cover-up of the invading country could lead to accusations of several serious crimes: administrative prevarication by omission (Article 404 of the Penal Code), omission of the duty to prosecute crimes (Article 408), cooperation by omission in crimes against the Constitution typified in Title XXI of the Penal Code, and also treason (Article 588).

Whether it's because Sánchez is being blackmailed by Morocco as a consequence of the Moroccan spying on his mobile phone in 2021 (the government has never given any explanation about what kind of information Morocco obtained) or for any other reason, Spain cannot continue for even one more day under a government that we already know not only fails to protect our borders but also protects those who attack them, an attack that in the case of Morocco constitutes a violation of our territorial integrity in order to seize two Spanish cities.

Sánchez deserves to be tried for treason

Those revelations warrant a trial for treason, an accusation that Vox already raised weeks ago and which would require invoking Article 102 of the Constitution, which states that to accuse any member of the government of treason, a quarter of the members of Congress are needed to initiate the process, and an absolute majority of the chamber is required to approve it. So far, the People's Party has not yet confirmed whether or not it will support this initiative. What more has to happen for the PP to take that step? Are they perhaps waiting for Sánchez to simply hand over the cities of Ceuta and Melilla to Morocco?
